Re "was Robert Sr's wife even named Jane/Jean, let alone Kincaid?" : There is (per the deed index) an Augusta co land deed from Robert & Jane Gwin to James Fulton on 15 June 1784, but I haven't seen the deed. This could be Robert Sr or his son Robert (wife appears to be Mary Jane Lockridge, referred to elsewhere as Jane). It would help if we had some idea of when Robert Jr. moved to Woodford co, Kentucky, so we'd know if he had left Augusta by 1784. In 1767, Robert Guinn is on the list of supernumeraries in Augusta County tax records. [Chalkley vol II, p.421] Does anybody know what this means? My dictionary shows one possibility as "not enumerated among the regular components of a group and especially of a military organization". Lastly, has anybody seen any documents showing Robert Sr alive after May 1785 when his son Joseph bought land from him? --Holly

Holly and listers, Sorry this took so long but I busted my writing wrist and had to have surgery. Robert Gwynn of Augusta went to Ky in 1784 "through the wilderness". This paper lists 1st October. More about this Robert is on my webpage. He traveled with David Kincaid who had been to this part of Ky before. David headed along the Ohio (It states several rivers) after the game got scarce.
